This is the place we go when we want a picnic at Mission Bay but don't want to wait in the stupid queues at Fish Pot.

The owner was very attentive explained to us via pictures each of the meals and what it look like to make sure we understood we're ordering. Who does that? I had the lamb with noodles and my partner had pork fried noodles, the thick kind rice noodles. The quality of food was just absolutely amazing. This was truly authentic Chinese cuisine. The portions were so generous and neither one of us could finish our meals. The owners were so nice polite, attentive. If you're in Auckland, New Zealand in the CBD, I would say this is a must go restaurant for anybody.

You don't go to Legend noodle house for the ambiance, nor do you go for the décor. It's actually…read moreprobably not even somewhere you want to sit in and eat (except to try the complimentary green tea). Legend Noodle house is all about the Singapore Noodles. I'm not sure what goes into these noodles (I'm not sure I really want to know either) but they are greasy, hang over curing, perfection. A takeaway serving could feed you for the rest of the week. They are in the traditional style with prawns, chicken, beef and LOADS of bean sprouts. I've only once strayed and tried something else on the menu. It was good, but not nearly as good as the noodles. I actually can't vouch for anything else on the menu (except maybe the won ton soup which is ok). But the Singapore noodles are suberb!

You can order all your standard Chinese takeaway options, plus all the regular deep fried anything you want.

I'll be honest I wasn't expecting much from this place when looking at the run-down condition that…read morethe inside and outside of the building is in. But I was pleasantly surprised, especially by the portion of food that I got. One Chinese dish was enough to last me for like two days, and would be pretty good for a cheap family feed. The food itself was ok, the texture was a little bit gross though. Like many Chinese take-away places these days, you can order both Chinese food and fish and chips from Shangri La. A little bit of refurbishment wouldn't go astray. To me, an owner who doesn't put the effort into how their business looks probably doesn't care too much about the quality of the food either. However, the food is adequate enough here.

I have no financial or any type of interest in this place. I just had dinner here with friends and I found it good enough to share with others. The staff were efficient and runned off their feet, but could do with a smile. The food was as good as any Chinese restaurants and the portions huge. We doggie bagged several containers from each table. We had plain chicken and duck. The roast pork is a specialty of the house and is definitely good. We liked the beans fried with mince. Prawns on a tofu base. Fish cooked in two styles, deep fried and stir fried with vegetables. Eight dishes with rice came to NZ$23/- per head. That night the restaurant was packed with Chinese speaking clientele.

I went simple and got some chicken chow mein, and it was pretty good, which I don't say often about chicken chow mein because I am very fussy when it comes to that particular delicious dish. The store is nice and clean and the staff are always smiling when you come through the door. Parking however is the biggest issue for me because I come from the other side of Great South Road so pulling over into one of the side streets is quite annoying, and actually is the only reason I haven't picked up some takeaways again on my way home.
